Granted, it's not a statistically significant sample, but I think we can reasonably hypothesise on this basis that everybody who does it is also a c**t. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really should be illegal for people to eat fish in a workplace I had a colleague who did this. Eventually I put up a sign "what's the difference between <insert name> and a dog that eats shit. Answer: the dog doesn't heat it up in the microwave. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Nowt wrong with a bit of fish. Mind you I was brought up in Arbroath in the 1970s and there wasn't much else to eat in Arbroath in the 1970s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 On 20/12/2023 at 12:19, scottsdad said: The last works night out I went to was in the late 90s with Somerfield in Alloa. The store manager had booked the function hall at the Claremont Lodge hotel. Loads of folk went, all dressed up looking forward to a night out together. Me and a mate showed up ~10 minutes late. We entered the bar that leads to the function hall, and noticed there was no music or anything. So we put our heads round the door to see what was going on, and in the middle of the dance floor was the store manager with a flip chart giving a talk. Everyone else was sat at tables, all dressed up, glaring at him. This was when Safeway (now Morrisons) was opening up and he was trying to rally the troops (his words). My mate and I retreated back to the bar, and sat for about half an hour sinking pints. When the music next door started we went through. But the lesson was learned - a works night out managed by the boss can go badly. This nightmare seems to have been curiously overlooked. I'm no militant, but I'm pretty sure I'd have walked out the dressy work meeting on my own time to join you at the bar. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prof has spotted that the info sent in about his course is all incorrect. The handbook sent in isn't the one he wrote. In addition, under "course textbook" is listed "None" when in fact the whole course is based on a book he wrote. He's raging. Utterly raging that such a monumental f**k-up happened. He wants to know who did this. So I checked my course and a similar thing happened. Someone made a "handbook" that is 2 pages long, full of spelling mistakes. My actual handbook is 17 pages long. Of my 8 Learning Objectives, only 3 are listed. Honestly, we're overrun by fuckwits. We've requested that the submission be withdrawn immediately. Not a Python course by any chance? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Invited to a very high level meeting today. Two deputy principals, a couple of heads of school, one or two others...and me. i really didn't why I was there. Lots of talking around some vague stuff before getting round to academic integrity. Then there was 5 minutes of blowing smoke my way as I have been active in terms of discipline, especially in terms of AI stuff. Then, they started talking about how we needed a new group to refresh our discipline policies and communications. A group with various powers, and I started getting a sinking feeling. This magic group would essentially be tasked with root and branch reform of everything. They got excited talking about how this and that could work. Oh yes, they were dead keen that someone "gets to grip" with this issue, and looks at all our policies and penalties. So, anyway, I am now the new Head of Academic Integrity with months of ball-aching tedious committee work ahead of me. It comes with no extra pay or workload allocation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, you can start with HR and then the cvnts that fecked up The Prof's handbook. We expect the stocks, public floggings and howzabout a nitrogen execution or two. ? Seems a shame to let the colonialists have all the fun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know what hand the prof has in this but he's playing a blinder here. Your move Kasparov. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
